Today's book is: Beauty to Die For by Kim Alexis and Mindy Starns Clark
Juliette Taylor walked away from her career as a supermodel twenty-five years ago. Now approaching fifty - an emotionally complex milestone -- she co-owns a beauty supply company that makes skincare products for salons and spas. Her niche is pampering Christian women who usually spend more time caring for others than for themselves under the slogan:"Isn't it time someone took care of YOU for a change?"When Juliette arrives at the Palm Grotto Spa to host a spiritual retreat, she runs into an old modeling colleague, Raven, who had always been disliked in the industry for many reasons. She isn't there for the retreat; in fact, her presence at the spa is somewhat mysterious.
Not long after Raven makes a cryptic threat to Juliette, the unsympatheticback-then beauty is found dead, poisoned by something in the green clayof a chai soy wrap. The following morning, a banner for the retreat hasbeen unceremoniously altered:
It's your turn to be nurtured, to be restored . . . to be murdered.
Suspicion is directed at Juliette who has history with Raven and certainlyknows how to use beauty products. But for murder?! Now she must findthe real killer before the police really take care of her.
My Thoughts:
Since we are heading to the UW Badger football game today, I haven't finished reading this one yet; however, so far it is excellent! I always like Clark's books and have found this one to go back to that "cozy mystery" feeling of her "Trouble with Tulip" sereis that I loved so much. The pace is good and the characters are interesting. I know it will turn out to have lots of twists and turns to keep me guessing.
